At July 12th's county council meeting Darrell Voelker, executive director of Harrison County Economic Development Corporation, requested a refundable deposit of $1,012,000 from the county to extend a natural gas pipeline at the Lanesville interchange/business park.

At this point in time, Voelker is unable to provide the name of the company or developer. The company is in distribution and promises at least 300 jobs and over 20 million dollars in investment. The money provided by the county would be on a six year contract with no guarantees it will be refunded in full.

We highly recommend watching Voelker’s presentation to fully understand this request.
